Resident calls San Bernardino police, disrupts burglary

Credit a San Bernardino resident for preventing the theft of a neighbor’s possessions.

Someone who lives near the 2800 block of North Sierra Way called San Bernardino police about 9:48 a.m. Thursday to inform them a few suspicious people were in her neighborhood, possibly casing houses.

By the time police arrived the three men had already broken into a house, according to Sgt. Siobhan Sansone.

“They didn’t really have a chance to steal anything,” Sansone said.

One person who was inside the house was arrested. Two men who were outside the home took off running when police showed up. One got away, and the other was taken into custody where he’ll be booked with his alleged accomplice on suspicion of burglary.
